Have had my car since 1979...Dad gave it to me. It was a six cylinder powerglide...for a long, long time! Changes were coming...from the Radiator back.
Since I am getting a little old and slow...I turned it into a Custom Body Shop for repairs and painting...but all other work has been done by me. Such as...
Powered with a 327 from a 64', with a 700R-4 Trans with Cable Dipstick, 4X4 Chevy Blazer Rearend 3:43 gear. Aluminum Intake, Billet Breather, Chrome stuff...
All new electrical wiring with fusing by AAW...
Aluminum Radiator with Electric Fan and Shroud...
Remote Cooler with fan for Transmission under Rt Rear Floorboard outside of frame rail...
All Electronic Ignition with Box and Flame Thrower Coil...
Patriot 3/4 Length Headers
Remote Toilet Paper Oil Filter and Block Filter...
Ford (Remote Solenoid for Starter)
Battery relocated to trunk...
Air Conditioning/Heat Installed...
4 Wheel Disc Brakes
Emergency Hand Brakes Hooked Up too...
Lowered 2 inches in front with Dropped Spindles (Total drop of 3 3/4 Tire's Size)
Lowered 2 inches in rear with blocks
All new Suspension Front and Rear with Poly Bushings, Springs, Shocks, Joints
Front Sway Bar...Rear to install yet...
Crager SS Chrome Wheels with TRI-Knock-offs, New Tires BF Goodrich
Updated Radio with MP3
All New Dash Trim, Bezels etc
All New Taillight Assemblies, with LED, and Blue Dots
New Rear Bumper with guards
New SS Fuel Tank with drain plug, SS Straps, Sending Unit, Anti-Burp Valve
New Grill and bottom Moulding
New Hood Bar and Extensions
New Parking Lights, and Hood Bird
New Hammershift Floor Shifter (Cable)
Set of Tens (Sub Woofers)in a lit enclosure with Amplifier
Vent Window Shades (Originals in SS)
Custom Throttle Linkage
Custom Front Tag All Aluminum (Bowtie) With Two Color LEDS (Yellow and Blue)
And haven't driven it in awhile...but soon I will. Have also removed all my SS Trim, straighten dings and polished to eyeball popping!4139
The picture is before heading to the body shop...rainy weather and a naked top will cost more rust! The car behind it is my 56' 4 door (For sale)
Headers cure from hitting on the Gearbox...simply add two washer between the steering box and the frame for clearance!
4140
Ok...I'm finished!
